Oh, of course. [ Matt's warmer fingers wrap around hers, grip comfortable but not too firm. ] Thank you for the lesson. And, you know ... a chance to make myself useful.
[ Matt tends not to initiate physical contact, as much as he loves it. As mentioned, he wasn't raised in a very demonstrative household. And the way he got into magic, as a lonely teenager, has impressed on him how meaningful touch can be--for good or for bad. But when he gets the sign that touch is welcome, he takes to it like a cat to a sunbeam.
They have a serious purpose here, so he's focused. Professional, if you will. But he's more relaxed than Gavial's seen him since they met. ]
Okay, [ he says, letting his eyes close. ] I'm sending you good vibes. Healing vibes ... good sleep vibes, balanced vibes. Vibes for replenishment.
[ His lips twitch a little, but he's totally in earnest. His breathing falls into a regular rhythm, a complex enough pattern that it seems like it must be the result of practice. And at the back of his mind--figuring, can't hurt--he recalls a prayer: As Heaven and Earth are not afraid, and never suffer loss or harm, even so, my spirit, fear not thou. As Day and Night are not afraid, nor ever suffer loss or harm, even so, my spirit, fear not thou. ]
